Uranium Concentration Meter

Description: From abstract; "Two basic instruments were developed for determining the concentration of uranium in solutions. Both instruments detect the gamma activity present in a sample solution, and interpret this analysis into direct presentation as parts per million."

Analysis of turbojet and ram-jet engine cycles using various fuels

Description: From Introduction: "These data have been collected for presentation in this report to illustrate the performance of turbojet and ram-jet cycles utilizing several of the more promising high-energy fuels. Results are presented in terms of engine over-all efficiency and thrust per pound of airflow as functions of flight Mach number."

Production of Neutral Photopions as a Function of Atomic Weight

Description: Thesis discussing the relative yield of neutral pions from elements in a reaction "as a function of the quantum-limit energy (the maximum energy of the quanta in the bremsstrahlung beam) of the Berkeley synchrotron." Interpretation of the results leads to values for the mean free path for absorption of the neutral pions in nuclear matter.

Alpha-Decay Studies in the Heavy Element Region

Description: Thesis describing a research conducted to extend observations on nuclear energy levels and how they effect the nucleus itself, and an investigation on the gamma rays associated for the even-even isotopes and to obtain additional data for the oddmass neclei in the hope that more regularities will become apparent for that class of nuclides.

LASL nuclear rocket propulsion program

Description: The immediate objective of the LASL nuclear propulsion (Rover) program is the development of a heat exchanger reactor system utilizing uranium-graphite fuel elements and ammonia propellant. This program is regarded as the first step in the development of nuclear propulsion systems for missiles. The major tasks of the program include the investigation of materials at high temperatures, development of fuel elements, investigation of basic reactor characteristics, investigation of engine control p… more

ANALYSIS OF THE INTERACTION OF 300-Mev NEUTRONS WITH XENON

Description: An investigation of the interactions between 300-Mev neutrons and xenon was made by means of a cloud chamber in a pulsed magnetic field of 21,700 gauss placed in the neutron beam of the 184-inch Berkeley cyclotron. Eighty-seven negative pion events and 257 other stars were analyzed. In addition an experimental check was made on the energy of the incoming neutrons. Classification, identification, and angular and energy distributions of prongs associated with all events are presented. Interpretat… more

The Bevatron and its Place in Nuclear Physics

Description: A sprawling group of buildings on an impressive campus site in the Berkeley hills provides the home of the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California. A succession of large accelerators has been built there, the latest of which is the Bevatron. It is the largest and highest-energy accelerator in operation at the present time. It was built and is operated under contract with the United States Atomic Energy Commission. It is of the type known as a proton synchrotron, of which there are … more

Teacher Lectures Given at UCRL During Summer of 1956

Description: In April of 1955 the Radiation Laboratory of the University of California sent out to 18 high schools in the Bay Area letters which said, in part, 'The object of this program is to help science teachers achieve some practical knowledge and experience in nuclear science by working with some of our basic research groups in physics and chemistry. In this way we believe that we can assist these teachers in their efforts to make their students more aware of the nature of atomic energy and help to pr… more

Mass Yields From Fission by Neutrons Between Thermal and 14.7 Mev

Description: Radiochemically determined mass-yield curves are given for the fission of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ by l4.7-Mev neutrons. Symmetric and to a less extent, very asymmetric modes of fission are more probable at that energy than in thermal fission. Yields of four fission products from the fission of U/sup 235/ have been measured as a function of neutron energy in the range thermal to 14 Mev. The yields of eleven masses have been measured from the fission of Np/sup 237/ by degraded fission spectrum … more

Fast Reactor Physics Calculations

Description: Multigroup diffusion theory calculations performed in connection with the fast power breeder reactor development program at Argonne are summarized. The problems investigated relate to: steady-state properties- longterm changes; reactivity coefficients associated with temperature changes; effectiveness of various control methods; evaluation of neutron lifetime; various methods of radial power flattening; various parametric studies to determine optimum design points; accuracy of diffusion theory … more

Energy Transfer Between Modified Maxwell Distributions

Description: S>A convenient modified form of Maxwell distribution is chosen. The modified expressions for the energy transfer from the ions to the electrons in a plasma and the bremsstrahlung from the electrons are calculated. Using the expressions some possible steady-state conditions for the ion and electron gases are derived and compared with those for the usual Maxwell distributions. (anth)
